What are you doing today?

I changed a burnt out light bulb on the outside of the garage. Had to get the ladder out, then figure how to get inside the light (in red circle in photo). Then spent some time looking for my eyeglasses. I know I had to have them inside somewhere because I drove quite a bit yesterday and had to have them to get home. They weren't in the car or where I usually leave them inside. I have to have them now to drive because my former "good" eye is now my "bad" eye. Finally I saw them on a stand next to the phone in my office and I don't even remember leaving them there. Took my car to have the battery tested, then a little grocery shopping.

Dishwasher was delivered as planned and by coincidence, the driver said he had a bad cold last week - and describe the exact same symptoms an Mrs. L and I are suffering. I seem to be getting a lot better, but I'm very tired and although I'm hungry, nothing appeals for dinner. Maybe a small omelette?
 

@Capt Lightning My gramma was a nurse and insisted that canned chicken noodle soup to eat and ginger ale to drink were perfect for colds/flu. Try that. Always made me feel better, and that's what my kids got when they were ailing. DD did the same with her kids.

Maybe it's just comfort food, but it worked for us. And toast and tea for snacks in between.
 
I bought a pack of pills.. they're called Night Aid.. they're too help you sleep... what does it say on the back of the packet ?... yup, you guessed it..

''warning, these pills may make you drowsy, if so do not drive or operate machinery ''...

what are they saying?.. that Maybe they're fake, and they're not going to help aiding sleep ?:LOL:

Called CYA, @hollydolly Then when someone tries something and gets hurt, they can say, "But the warning was on the label"
 
I've been looking for the thread where y'all post birthday wishes for me, do you think I can find it? (It's probably off with the two working brain cells I have left ) Anyway, thank you for all the lovely wishes, thoughts and kind comments. Y'all are my fave bunch of on-line people =)

I am new here so I have yet to wish you a happy birthday. So here goes, happy birthday. What is also a coincidence is since you just celebrated a birthday recently your birthday must fall right around mine. My birthday is on December 2nd.
 
We attended one of the little 'uns Christmas chorus performance tonight. It was quite enjoyable and at only 45 minutes long....quite enjoyable...lol. Then we walked around a very well-done light display synced to music in a local park. Saturday is a night Christmas parade with the kiddies. Also Saturday afternoon, some cousins are coming to town and I'm dropping by for as long as I can stay smiling....

I just hope they help, not being to sleep is so stressful.

Ditto on that.👍
And if they do work, @hollydolly
then please list the ingredients for us, so that the rest of us who are likewise desperate for sleep (preferably at night!) can try to replicate it;
unless of course, it has all the same things we have each already tried, hundreds of dreadful nights in the past. :oops::rolleyes::eek::eek::eek:

I hope it helps you, Holly!
 
Had to suspend yesterday. Didn't even get dressed yesterday, that's a first. Generally I manage at least that. Didn't clean Buffy's litter box yesterday! OMG, that's big news around here.

I'll try to do much of Thursday today. I'll try.
 
I'm absolutely stunned.. I wrote a product review on a Sellers website ( not Amazon) for a new rug I received about a month ago, it was a constructive review.. very disappointed in the rug because it's an expensive rug and bought for a specific reason from this particular company..

I'd just pressed the send button 15 minutes ago..and 5 minutes later ..5 minutes ago in fact .. I got a phone call from the company expressing apologies for the product.. explaining how the product is made, and how the fact that it's moulting shouldn't be happening, and have offered to send me another rug out immediately today.. wow !! I can't tell you how long it is since receiving this excellent kind of customer service
 
Not wasting any time today. I have a friend who is expected around 11 so want to be ready when she gets here. She is taking me to my hairdresser's and then out to lunch. After that who knows? We haven't seen each other in four years so looking forward to today. Sonny is still sick so he couldn't take me to our hair appointments. Maybe my hairdresser can trim my friend's hair in Sonny's appointment time period. His appointment is usually the time while my hair color is setting.

@OneEyedDiva I get such a nice warm feeling when I read about little Deja, or about you caring for her.

I survived the doctor appointment. Headed to the thrift store. While there I heard the manager saying she somehow had to drop off clothing vouchers to various charities and social service providers. I told her I'd be happy to do it. (I don't like to commit to long-term volunteer work, but a day here or a weekend there is fine.)

One delivery was for the RCMP's Victim Services. The police station employee said they don't have a Victim Services at the moment because they don't have anyone to fill the job. Such a funny town. The local industry collapsed, so you'd think there would be lots of workers, but many places are understaffed. Anyway, the employee finally said she'd take the vouchers.

I reported back to the thrift store manager, and suggested she call the police station to clarify. She said they do need used clothing and other items sometimes, for people who can't be sent out in the clothes they were brought in with. For example, if they were arrested in indoor clothes but will be released out into the cold.

I love it when I learn a tiny tidbit about life, that I never would have thought of!

How nice of you to say that❣️ I'll remember to tag you in posts about Deja. She's a little "devil" but has enriched my life so much.

Physical therapy... trying to figure out how long to keep going....

I have now met all of my PT goals, however pain is still not gone and mobility isn't what I'd like. I'm just not sure what PT can do for me I can't do for myself at home or the gym. Don't need to decide right away, I have appointments for next week.

This is what's call the torture chair, the most painful thing in PT. A kind of self operated torture rack. You push on the levers to force your feet back and legs to bend. Only limited by your own pain. Good workout for the arms and shoulders, on the left I push as hard as I can, on the right I have to use both hands...

I think its been very helpful to me, but I now have more motion than the PT goals... Won't miss this thing...

You GO Rob! It's good to see your smile though you're being tortured. :) I thought the insurance determined how many PT sessions one can have (?) :unsure: Know that I pray for you and all those I know who are suffering with chronic pain. May you heal well and quickly. Kudos for your determination.
 
Leaving for work in a few minutes. At least it is a short day for me. I will be finished by 2 p.m. today. I have nothing really planned for this weekend that is exciting. I will probably just stay inside and relax and have a few glasses of Wine and maybe if I get inspired bake some cookies.
